Ingredients

• 3 whole ripe avocados
• 1 whole lime
• 1 whole roma tomato
• 0.25 cup (finely chopped) red onion
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 1 whole (seeded and finely minced) jalapeño
• 1 teaspoon (minced) chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Start by halving the avocados and removing the pits. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocados to prevent browning and add freshness.

Step 3

Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, leave some pieces intact; for a smoother guacamole, mash thoroughly.

Step 4

Dice the roma tomato and add it to the bowl with the avocado.

Step 5

Finely chop the red onion and cilantro and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

Seed and finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the guacamole. Adjust the quantity of jalapeño based on your spice preference.

Step 7

Stir in the minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce for a smoky, southwest flavor.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix everything together gently but thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

Step 9

Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or spices if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and burritos!
